Stanford was supposed to open its men’s basketball season on Wednesday against Utah Valley, but the Cardinal will have to wait a few days to get started.

Wednesday’s game against the Wolverines was cancelled, declared a no contest, and will not be made up. The cancellation was a result of positive COVID-19 test results and subsequent contact tracing within the Utah Valley program, according to the Stanford web site.

Both programs are exploring options to replace the game.

Stanford is scheduled to face Alabama on Monday in the opening round of the Maui Invitational at Asheville, N.C.
